Bathing Brands is seeking a filming-first Video Producer & Videographer to create visually compelling footage for their portfolio of sauna, steam, and wellness brands. This role focuses heavily on planning shoots, capturing footage, directing talent, and producing content in the field.

A portfolio or demo reel is required for application.

• Experience organizing and handing off footage to another editor
• The confidence to work independently and solve production challenges onsite
• Strong communication, organization, and collaboration skills
• Availability to work primarily onsite in Wheeling, Illinois, with occasional offsite production and travel (5 – 10%)

Nice To Haves

• Agency, commercial-production, or in-house consumer-brand experience
